Residents press council on golf-course noise, sidewalk trees, and intersection signage
Summary
Multiple residents told the council about early‑morning golf‑course maintenance noise, a city‑owned tree uprooting sidewalks, and missing eye‑level signs at a dangerous intersection; the mayor and department heads agreed to follow up.
At the end of its meeting the council heard several neighborhood complaints, including early-morning noise from golf-course maintenance, a resident question about who pays for sidewalk work where a city tree threatens uplift, and a request for clearer no-right-on-red signage at the Wick & Pardee intersection.
Richard Thibault (S17) said maintenance vehicles and mowers arrive as early as 6 a.m., waking residents near the fifth hole. "It's ridiculous every day, 6AM," Thibault said; the mayor (S8) said he would follow up with the department and the police chief (S14) offered to contact golf-course staff. Kimberly Chambly (S20) described contractors refusing to replace sidewalk panels because a city‑owned tree root would damage new concrete; staff directed her to the building department for case-specific follow-up. Resident Vic Shattelberg (S5) asked that the city add an eye‑level no‑turn sign at Wick and Pardee; the mayor said sign crews would review the intersection.
Council members and staff committed to follow up with the appropriate departments and promised to return with updates as available.
